"It's not the crime, but the coverup. Even in cases where no crime, as such, was committed. Some former president's sexual pecadillos come to mind".

It wasn't just some "pecadillos."

It is against the law for a federal employee to engage is sexual activity with his supervised employee, consensual or not.

It is also against federal law to do this in your taxpayer-paid office, consensual or not.

Violating these laws has sent others to jail, ---prosecuted by none other than the Clinton's Justice Department.

Clinton was immune from prosecution only because he was President. The Senate backed off partly because the American people had had enough of public BJ discussion and knew the testimony would necessarily have to go to the underlying crimes. Unlike this trial, in which the Prosecutor bent over backwards to ignore the "underlying crime" until he could produce it as hearsay in his summation (which the Jury, per Mr. Collins, accepted as bedrock fact). Apples and Oranges.

And where, exactly, in the articles of impeachment would I find reference to these laws of which you speak?

'Cause, honestly, I'm not seeing them.
